October Plan

I am running the Denver Marathon on Sunday, October 14. My October plan is aimed at tapering for two weeks prior to this marathon. I will not do any long runs and my tempo pace will be my marathon pace, 7:57 min/mi. This marathon pace is from Daniels and would give me a sub 3:30. My Boston Marathon qualifying time is 4:00, 60-64 year old males.

Tempo - 6 mi @ 7:57 min/mi pace
Intervals - 3 mi 5x1000 @ 4:16 time
